- 1. 1-131 contain an abridgment of Decades 1-3, dedicated by the anon, translator to Charles, due d'Angoulême, third son of Francois I. then follows, 1. 132, a new dedication of the "Trois narrations" to Marguerite, daughter of Francois I, in which the translator says that the first of these three "narrations" is translated from Peter Martyr's Latin account of Cuba, dedicated to Pope Leo X, later printed at Basle [i.e. from Decade 4, which had appeared under the title "De nvper svb D. Carolo repertis insulis, simulatq incolarum moribus ..." Basileae, 1521] and that the other two narrations are from the Latin of Pierre Sauorgnan [i.e. the Latin version by Petrus Savorgnanus of the Spanish narrations of Hernando Cortes] For the text of both Decade 4 and the narrations of Cortes, the translator, however, apparently made use of the 1st ed. of Savorgnanus' Latin version of Cortes' second and third narration, 1524, containing also Decade 4, presnmably intended as a substitute for the lost first narration of Cortes : Tertia Ferdinādi Cortesii Sac. Caesar. et Cath. Maiesta. in nova maris oceani hyspania generalis præfecti p̃clara Narratio. In qua Celebris Ciuitatis Temixtitan expugnatio, aliarũq₃ Prouintiarũ, que defecerant recuperatio continetur ... preterea In ea Mare del Sur Cortesium detexisse recẽset, quod nos Australe Indieũ Pelagus putam, & alias innumeras Prouintias Aurifodinis, Vnionibus, Variisq₃ Gemmarum generibus refertas, Et postremo illis innotuisse in eis quoq₃ Aromatac [sic] ontineri, Per Doctorẽ Petrum Sauorgnanũ Foroiuliensem ...

Recto of 1. 1: De Rebus et Insulis nouiter Repertis a Sereniss. Carolo Imperatore, Et Variis earum gentium moribus. (Title quoted from Harrisse)
- Decade 4, as well as Savorgnanus' Latin version of the 2nd and 3rd narrations of Cortes, are also included in "De insvlis nvper inventis Ferdinandi Cortesii ad Carolum V. rom. Imperatorem Narrationes, cum alio quodam Petri Martyris ad Clementem VII. Pontificem Maximum consimilis argumenti libello." coloniae [Sept. 1532], but the French translation antedates this by eight months.
